Booster T2 is available
Booster built traction with lower-cost humanoids for developers, education and robot-sports teams. T2 extends that strategy into a higher-performance embodied-AI platform.
Booster Robotics has made T2 available for developers, researchers and education customers.
Booster sells humanoid hardware for developers, research labs, education programmes and robot-sports teams. It lists K1 as an introductory development platform starting at $5,999, T1 for developers and T2 as its flagship development platform.
Unitree G1 helped define the low-cost purchasable humanoid category; a platform developers, universities and robotics teams could actually buy rather than wait for enterprise pilots or build from scratch. Booster is operating in that same broad category of accessible humanoid hardware, but with a sharper emphasis on education, RoboCup, robot sports and software tooling.
Booster said T1 reached mass production and global shipment in January 2025, with more than 50 units shipped within three months of launch.
By October 2025, the company said it had shipped more than 700 humanoid robots globally, serving 200+ clients across 20+ countries and more than 70 universities and research institutions.
In April 2026, Booster completed a financing round worth nearly RMB 1 billion (~US$140M), while reporting Q1 shipments up 500% year over year, January-February orders up 800%, positive operating cash flow in December 2025, and 1,000+ K1 units shipped across 20+ countries and 400 clients.
Booster has moved from dozens of shipped robots, to hundreds, to more than a thousand while steadily moving its hardware further upmarket.
T2 adds a higher-performance platform alongside K1 and T1 in Booster’s developer range.
The company's route to market has also been closely tied to robot competition and education.
RoboCup's 2026 programme update says new agreements with Unitree and Booster introduced additional humanoid platform options. The update specifically names the Booster K1 RoboCup Edition, says teams can order robots directly from manufacturers, and describes a dedicated robot pool where teams bringing K1 or T1 robots could receive additional platforms during the competition.
Booster supplies RoboCup teams with hardware they can purchase, modify, repair and use to develop control software.
Booster T2 has 31 degrees of freedom, NVIDIA Thor T5000 compute, a 10-kilogram dual-arm payload and a walking speed of 2 metres per second. Configurations include a 6-DoF dexterous hand. Booster sells it as development hardware.
